'LittleBigPlanet' tops four million levels

Sony has revealed that users have shared more than four million levels on LittleBigPlanet and its sequel.

According to the PS Blog, 4,141,742 stages have been distributed since the original game launched in 2008.

The publisher has also announced the return of the 'LittleBigPlanet Contraption Challenge', offering players the chance to compete for prizes by constructing a working submarine. Last year's winner was awarded a PSP Go with a copy of the game.

Additional costume mini-packs were also unveiled. The 'Tron: Evolution Mini-pack' is released on April 27, consisting on two new skins and a batch of stickers. A Killzone 3-themed pack will follow in May.

Developed by Media Molecule, LBP2 was released for PS3 in January. The game garnered critical acclaim in the press and debuted at the top of the all-formats software chart.

It went on to sell more than 353,000 copies in its first month on sale in the US.
